to accept any one condition laid
down as essential by Lord TIar-

real reason, he says, for the

INMAN NOT In THE DEAL.
HE FAILS TO BUY ANY OF THE
CENTRAL RAILROAD STOCK.

The Syndicate Said to be Anxious to
Get Rid Of the Messrs. Calhoun-The
Big Holders Leave for Their Summer
Vacation Without Coming to an
Agreement.
New YORK, July 2S.-Wall street has
had it for some days past that John II.
mman had purchased big block of the
Georgia Central railroad syndicate stock<
Mr.. Inman to-day personally assured the
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS corre~
spondent that all such reports were
untrue absolutely 1t is no longer
secret that the members of tne
syndicate are long distance from
harmony. The breach that existed some
time ago has widened materially.
Continued conferences were admitted
necessary to establish harmony, but that
remedy is no longer practicable. The New
York members have scattered, some much
disgusted at the position taken by certain
of their associates Harry Hollins and
young August Belmont have sailed for
| Europe. Emanuel Lehman is in tho Cuts
mountains and Alfred Sully is ready to
start on an extended trip over the kichs
mond Terminal system.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
This dispensing of the interested oaas is

| can be no question but that some Of the
most influential members of the syndicate

| IL isn't pleasant to hear rich syndicate
men call one another harsh names.
| The story about John H. Inman's

| members Of the syndicate evidently have
| been trying to sell the Calhoun stock for the

seldom. II is limited that he fears that the
disputes inside the syndicate may result in
embarrassing litigation, and he has no taste
| for the luXuries of lawyers or courts Mr..
Inman's refusal TO buy the interest offered

LEWIS MAKES A DENIAL,
He May Possibly Sue the Papers tina
Published the Story.

He May Possibly sue the Papers that
Published the Story.
Boston, July 28.-E II. Lewis, formerly
of Maiden and of the firm of Lewis Bros.
shoe dealers, with branch stores in Dallas,
Tex, and Jacksonville, Fla, has returned
to this city. He stoutly denies the truth of
the story first published some days ago in a
Jacksonville paper that he or his mistress
had murdered his daughter Hattie during q
visit that the daughter made with her father
to Florida last winter. Lewis states that
the girl died natural death, and that the
scandalous stories concerning his daughters
death were set alloat by his wife. She was
uniustly jealous of Mrs. Cavalon, lady
with whom he and his daughter boarded.
His wife, he intimates, is of unsound mind,
and he stated to-day that his case was in the
hands of lawyer, who might possibly
bring an action in the courts against the
newspapers TINT have published the story of
the alleged crime.
This afternoon Mr.. Lewis and Mrs. Caval-
lon, each acting through w. b. Gale,
served writs on the Record, Hcrald, Jour
nal and Globe for libel, setting the damages
against each paper at 100000 for the publ
cation of dispatch bearing on this subject.

TOBACCO ON THE RISE.
Prices for the Leaf Jump Up from so
to 100 Per Cent

New YoRK, Jhly 2S.-The Evening Post
says: There is such excitement among
tobacco dealers and manufacturers at the
present time as has not been known for
years, and the prices for leaf tobacco have
increased from 30 to 100 per cent. during
July, and the end is not yet. Manufacturers
have been sending up their prices in response
to the demand made upon them by the
controllers Of the leaf supply. On
plug tobacco alone the Lorillards have
advanced their wholesale price &c. per
pound during the past three weeks. Other
manufacturers have kept pace with them,
and Western manufacturers who initiated
the rivalry Of low prices few years back,
have not been able to keep out of the pres.
ent movement. The causes of the increase
are complex, but the chief immediate cause
is speculative enterprises.
Mr. Lyall, Of the firm of buchanan &c
Lyall, said this afternoon: Tobacco which
sold for 8 and l0c. per pound
three months ago is now worth
from 20 TO 25c. per pound, The rise
is due to the increased demand and this is
traceable TO the fact that the crop planted
this year is not more than 30 to 90 per cent
of last years. Then, the drought we have
had viii reduce the yield to much lower
point than the diminished tillage would rep
resent. The crop this year will certainly be
small, but what IT'S amount will be will not
be known with certainty until somp three
weeks hpucan

MOREHEAD's MISFORTUNE.
Every Store Closed and Armed Men
Patrolling the Streets.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 2S.-Col. John B.
Castleman and Adjt. Roger Williams re-
turned from Morehead to-day, where they
had been sent by Gov. Knott to inquire into
the propriety Of sending troops there to at
tend on the sessions OF the Circuit Court,
which is set to convene there next Monday.
Troops have been asked for by Judge Cole
Sheriff Hogan and others. The Sheriff is
III Mount Sterling, and declares that he will
not go to MOrehead to attend court
unless troops are sent to maintain peace
The Governors commissioners, after exam
lining the situation carefully, decided to re-
port adversely to sending troops to More
head. The town is dead. Every business
house is closed and the doors nailedup, with
the exception of one small grocery store and
a saloon, the latter being carried on by the
widow of Craig TOlliver The Railey Hotel
is also open. With these exceptions no
business whatever is carried on at More
head.
PATROLLED BY ARMED MEN.
The town is patrolled day and night by
forty members of the Law and Order
Society and the men are armed with Win
chester rifles and are the only persons to be
seen moving around. They are constantly
on the alert for an attack from the Tolliver
gang, and rumors of the close proximity Of
Jne gang TO Jne JOWn are neilrd every udy
All the members Of the Law and Order
Society object to the presence Of troops and
people who are known to have
been on the other side are vehement
in their request for military aid. The
former expressed their ability to protect the
citizens and aid the court III the full execu-
ton of the law 1t is the general feeling
that as soon as the patrol is removed, or if
it should become careless so as to afford an
opportunity, the Tolliverites will sweep
down on the town and avenge the death Of
their chief and his kinsman. 1t is known
that an organization for that purpose is in
easy reach of Morehead and the chances
are that moro blOodshed will follow the
slightest opportunity for an attack. The
presence of troops might temporarily avert
this, but the only true solution of the bloody
feud is to let the citizens of Rowan county
settle it among themselves.
